Item Special Note
Jim Ocean has been writing and performing for 30 years, including being a founding member and primary writer for Celtic Elvis, the Dogmatics and Placebo Domingo. His albums include "The Rise and Fall of Practically Everything" and "Hard to be Real" with Celtic Elvis, plus "Fear and Love" with the Dogmatics.
Jim writes and performs in many styles from the humorous to serious social commentary to the spiritual—sometimes seamlessly weaving all three within one song. His latest CD release, "Pop Tunes for Mystics", due to be released in January 2010, has been described as a "secular ride through spiritual terrain". He will release a 2-CD set of satire called "Sarcology 101 and 102" in the summer of 2010, followed by “Math to Metaphor” in 2011 which blends the scientific with the spiritual.
What others have to say...
“Ocean’s music transcends category, transporting his audience through an entertaining and poignant range of emotions related to being human in the modern world.”–K Dupler, Concert Producer
"His songs pack an emotional wallop..." –Joseph Chilton Pearce, Author of “Magical Child”, “Evolution’s End” and “Crack in the Cosmic Egg”
“…Some of the best satirical songs you’re likely to hear.” –Dirty Linen
“Ocean consistently skewers modern life in the USA. The songs are smart, as well as clever, but avoid the novelty stance of going for cheap laughs. Instead, they get under the skin of contemporary facades and relationships. Music for our times”–Garth Johnson, Victory Music Review, Seattle
